The Story of Stuff

I just finished watching an amazing 20 minute online movie about STUFF. Here's a bio from the website The Story of Stuff.

"From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever."

As most of you know, I have a genuine care/concern for the earth and try to live my life accordingly. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not going to win any "green lady" awards, but I'm trying. This educational experience was a bit of an eye-opener riddled with several interesting facts. I do hope that all readers will take 20 minutes (it goes by really fast) to imbibe the info. This is really important stuff. BTW-thanks Rachel:)
